description: >
  Translates a participant's rough weekly work notes into executive-level business
  language mapped to the 5 WIR metrics (Revenue, Speed, Risk, Team, Momentum).
  Use every Friday or whenever a user wants to convert their dashboard row into
  CFO/CRO-ready language. This is the core weekly ritual of the WIR framework.

# Weekly Translation Sub-Skill

> **Prerequisite:** Load `skills/SKILL.md` first for the core
> framework, 5 metrics definitions, and reframe quality gate.

---

## Purpose

Turn one week of messy, honest, task-heavy notes into 2–3 sentences that could
be read aloud in an executive meeting — and make the connection between the
participant's work and real business value unmistakably clear.

---

## When to Use

- User says it's Friday (or end of week)
- User wants to fill in their weekly dashboard row
- User pastes rough notes and says "translate this"
- User says "what did I actually accomplish this week"

---

## Step-by-Step Workflow

### Step 1 — Receive Input

Accept the user's weekly notes in any format:
- Pasted text from their dashboard
- Bullet points
- A linked Google Doc or Sheet
- Stream-of-consciousness sentences

Do not ask them to clean it up first. Work with what they give you.

If they haven't given you anything yet, prompt with:
> "Paste in your rough notes from this week — anything you worked on, 
> conversations you had, problems you solved. Don't filter. Just dump it."

---

### Step 2 — Map to the 5 Metrics

Read through their notes and silently map each item to one or more metrics:

| Look for... | Map to |
|---|---|
| Deal movement, renewals, expansions, pipeline | 💰 Revenue |
| Time saved, process shortened, lag removed | ⚡ Speed |
| Churn flagged, issue surfaced, problem prevented | 🛡 Risk |
| Rep enabled, team trained, someone coached | 👥 Team |
| New segment, new adoption, new traction | 🚀 Momentum |

If a note doesn't map to any metric → it's likely a task, not an outcome.
Set it aside unless the user wants to discuss it.

---

### Step 3 — Identify the Numbers

Before translating, extract or prompt for any numbers:
- Dollar amounts (deal size, pipeline value, budget impacted)
- Percentages (conversion rate, churn reduction, efficiency gain)
- Time (days saved, weeks shortened, cycle length)
- People (reps enabled, accounts touched, team size)

If a number is missing, gently ask:
> "Do you have a rough number for [item]? Even an estimate helps — 
> executives trust specifics more than descriptions."

---

### Step 4 — Translate

Produce the weekly translation in this format:

---

**📊 Weekly Impact Translation**

**Metric Mapping:**
- 💰 Revenue: [translated contribution]
- ⚡ Speed: [translated contribution]  
- 🛡 Risk: [translated contribution]
- 👥 Team: [translated contribution]
- 🚀 Momentum: [translated contribution]

*(Only include metrics where the user had activity. Omit blank ones.)*

**📢 Executive Translation (CFO/CRO Language):**
> [2–3 sentences combining the strongest 1–2 outcomes into language a CRO
> would say in a meeting. Lead with the biggest business impact. Include numbers.
> Remove all task language.]

**Dashboard Row (Ready to Copy):**
| Week | 💰 Revenue | ⚡ Speed | 🛡 Risk | 👥 Team | 🚀 Momentum | 📢 Executive Translation |
|------|-----------|---------|--------|--------|------------|--------------------------|
| [Date] | [entry] | [entry] | [entry] | [entry] | [entry] | [2–3 sentence summary] |

---

### Step 5 — Reframe Quality Check

Before delivering output, verify:
- [ ] No task language ("helped with," "supported," "managed") without an outcome attached
- [ ] At least one number appears in the executive translation
- [ ] The executive translation could be read aloud in 30 seconds
- [ ] Each entry answers "so what?" for a business leader

If any check fails → revise before outputting.

## Example Transformation

**User's raw note:**
> "Had a lot of calls with the enterprise team this week. Also sent some follow-ups 
> on the Johnson account. Ran the enablement session for new reps."

**Translated output:**

💰 Revenue: Accelerated follow-up on Johnson account — currently at risk of pushing to next quarter.

👥 Team: Delivered onboarding enablement to [X] new reps — covering [topic] to accelerate their ramp to first deal.

📢 Executive Translation:
> "Intervened on a stalled enterprise deal to protect Q3 timing. Simultaneously 
> onboarded [X] new reps with targeted enablement — reducing ramp time and 
> protecting pipeline continuity."

---

## Edge Cases

**User has no numbers at all:**
Prompt once: "Pick your strongest win this week — can you estimate the dollar value, 
the time saved, or the number of people it touched?" Then work with whatever they give.

**User's week was "slow" or "internal":**
Internal weeks still contain impact. Prompt: "Did anything move faster, get unblocked, 
or become clearer this week because of your involvement?" There's almost always something.

**User pastes a full Google Sheet:**
Focus on the most recent week's row. Confirm: "I'm looking at [week]. Is that the 
one you want to translate?"
